Ingredients :

2-3 tbsp vegetable oil

2 Chinese leaves, finely shredded

50g (2 oz) tinned water chestnuts, finely
chopped

1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks or
coarsely grated

75g (3 oz) bean sprouts

2 salad onions, shredded

1 tsp five-spice powder

1/2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp hoisin sauce

12 spring roll wrappers

1 tsp cornflour mixed with a little water

soy sauce, to serve

Method :

Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large wok or
frying pan and stir-fry the Chinese leaves, water chestnuts, carrot
bean sprouts, salad onions and five-spice over a high heat for 1-2
minutes until beginning to soften.

Stir in the sugar, salt and hoisin sauce
and remove from the heat. Set aside to cool slightly.

Open out the spring roll wrappers and
place a spoonful of the stir-fried vegetable mixture on each one. Roll
up tightly, tucking in the edges, brush the final edge with the
cornflour paste, then press down well to seal.

Shallow-fry the spring rolls for 4-5
minutes in the remaining oil, turning occasionally, until crisp and
golden. Serve with a little soy sauce for dipping and drizzling.
